Artist History Formed in 1986 by Jeff Kilgallon and Kevin Kelly. Kilgallon (drummer) and Kelly (guitars) wrote two songs before vocalist Alex Malz joined the crew. In desparate need of a bass player, Kelly taught Al Barton from the ground up. Barton had a flare for the instrument and quickly adapted. The group was a bunch of high-school kids just having a good time. In 1989, the group decided to record six songs in a local recording studio to hear what they sounded like on tape. The group was never really satisfied with the finished product because they could not afford to complete additional overdubs. Most songs were one take only. The recording session did get them gigs in the community. On several occassions the foursome played bars where they could hang out after their set. They enjoyed this because they were 16 and 17 years of age at the time. In late 1989, the foursome recorded once again. It was done on a cheesy four-track. However, the group was much happier with their performance even though the sound quality was lacking. Unfortunately, vocalist Malz decided to leave the group due to a poor performance the group had at a local establishment. Sonn after the other members disbanded. High-school had ended and all the members went their separate ways.
